Irish Beach
As mentioned, we spent our anniversary weekend holed up in a Beach House in the tiny TINY town of Irish Beach, on Northern California's Mendocino Coast.
It was a fantastic weekend.

The weather for most of the weekend was perfectly foggy. Can't-see-100-yards-in-front-of-you foggy. We were prepared for that kind of weather, though, so we reveled in it.

We walked on the beach with coffee in the morning (read: my "happy place"), we listened to music, read books and magazines, built a fire, laughed a ton, sang loudly and played the guitar, considered investing in beach-front property...

...explored the beach house and found awesome gems like the book below...
...popped a bottle of our wedding champagne (along with several other local liquids)...
...wandered around the first night with nowhere to eat dinner since all the places closed at 7pm (so funny!)...finally found an Indian Casino, ate dinner, lost $1 in betting...
The next night we were better prepared and found a cute market where we bought all we needed for a home-cooked beach house meal.
It was so refreshing. I want to go back.
Cheers to four years!

Rejuvenate
It's been a really busy couple of weeks at work, and I've left each night feeling drained. Today, though, I met a few deadlines and decided to blow off some steam in the Presidio.
Runs like this remind me how awesome this city is.
I wish I could transfer the smells of the redwood and eucalyptus trees along with these photos.
The Ridge and Coastal Trails are pretty spectacular.
Feeling much more relaxed tonight.
Happy Friday tomorrow!
